[quote author=SSBN post=61795551] Melania Trump short story by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Nigeria's very own Chimananda Ngozi Adichie wrote a ridiculous piece for the New York Times Magazine where she reffered to America's first lady Michelle Trump as - in her own words : " ...the reluctant wife of the president who displays an unease with her political fame. And she's a little bit racist too." She wrote a micro-novel - Janelle Asked to the Bedroom, which is about a conversation between a forlorn Mellania Trump and her Pilates instructor Janelle. Chimananda potrayts Trump as envious of her predecessor's natural ease in the role of First Lady, She refers to America's first Lady as Mrs T all through. In her story Mrs T showed Janelle a video she's been watching on YouTube of Michelle Obama visiting classroom. She also reveals folder full of pictures of Obama in her laptop. "Look at this. I always look at them for the inspiration", She says. In this fictional world, Mrs T's only source of joy comes from her 11 year old autistic son, Baron. Here we have our very own Chimananda exhibiting Mellania as someone who exhibits casual racism that her husband, President Donald Trump, is often accused of sharing. Mrs T makes a prejudicial remark when Janelle informs her that her son has been accepted to Harvard University. “He got scholarship to go?” she asks. “How automatic, this assumption of a scholarship, and Janelle knew she meant a scholarship not of smarts but of skin,” writes Adichie. Here we have our very own Chimananda trying to depict a strained relationship between Mellania Trump and Donald Trump's children from previous marriages, particularly Ivanka Trump, whose close relationship with her husband she ensues. Dear Chimananda Ngozi Adichie, you should be ashamed of yourself. Your trash reeks of racism, hate and insecurity. It is sad that you have chosen to drop the culture of integrity and respect that is the core of Nigerian values and join the morbid cry baby the world is against us self victimization culture of African Americans who have made the black race the cry baby of the world. You hail from a country that still has a long way to go when it comes to social development. Rather than use your God given gift as a platform to push for reforms, to push for the old cabals to give young and capable Nigerians the chance to pilot the affairs of this country, you are out there insulting the wife and autistic child of another man simply because you do not like him. You are not American. You did not even vote, yet you are playing propaganda for the wife of a man who spat on your own country. It is Obama who warned of grave consequences for Nigeria if the President goes ahead with his anti-same sex marriage legislation. When President Jonathan gave Obama the middle finger for trying to impose an alien culture It was Obama who for the first time in 30 years stopped the importation of Nigeria's oil. The consequence was an economic recession for Nigeria on a scale not seen in nearly three decades. It is Obama who at the height of the Boko Haram Insurgency slammed an arm's embargo in the Nigerian Army and torpedoed several attempts by Nigeria to buy arms over allegations of " human rights violation of Boko Haram captives" Is it not a shame that the first black president of the United States made two trips to Africa and refused to come to Nigeria, the largest black nation on earth? You are a disgrace to Nigerian women. Denegrading the wife, husband and autistic son of a public figure goes against the value of Nigerian women. Where us your dignity Chimananda? What are your values? Liberal debauchery? Same sex marraige? Political intolerance? Freedom to do or say whatever you like without consequences ? Shame on you Chimananda. You've sold your values and morality. A real African woman will never do such. African women are cultured and have attained a level of social cohesion African American women can only dream of. https://defensenigeria.blog/2017/10/26/the-hypocrisy-of-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie/ [/quote Nothing new from this chimamanda character,she is a clinton ass licker. |

Mindfulness: You liberals suck, big time. So Obama's ascendency to the POTUS is enough for the blacks?? Under his supervision, Blacks recorded the worst economic advancement, Police Brutality, the poverty raitoo for Black's was highest, no single Infrastructural renewal in the area occupied by blacks. What single project/policy did he initiate for Africans apart from platitudes and insults hr rained on us when he visited Ghana? I decides who I rent apartments to or not. Its nothing racial or tribal. I am still waiting for you to point out one Black prominent leader that Trump insulted. Your liberal candidate (Clinton) lost the election cos the people are tired of the lies you feed them. Obama's presidency was a failure reason for the failure of Clinton at the polls.

ToyinDipo: I agree with this. Our forefathers after all "willingly" sold human beings in exchange for worthless things like "mirrors and combs". What about the brutality of Old Oyo Empire who conquered as far as Dahomey (Modern-day Benin), and who treated non-Yorubas as if they were no better than soiled toilet brushes. I think it's high time Africans did away with this "noble savage" myth. Africans (Hispanics, Asians, etc.) are just as racist, and just as terrible, and just as wicked as Caucasians. Racism is not contained in the Caucasian gene; racism lives in the human DNA. Even in the Catholic church I used to attend, I observed the priest would show unwarranted partiality towards the igbo faction. He went to their houses to have dinner upon their invitation, and generally was more readily in their service than when it came to the Yorubas or other minority groups in the parish. And this was someone meant to be the "spiritual father" to all those in his parish. It is my belief that everyone is racist to some degree (tribalism and nepotism inclusive). It is natural for people to align with their own and regard the "outsider" as inferior and different (otherization). It only takes a superior intellect (not in books, but in “existential awareness”) if one is to rise above petty prejudicial judgements and begin to see, understand, and appreciate the interconnectedness of human life. It is not an easy job (I, too, occasionally fall into the sinful preoccupation of believing that I am evolutionally superior to the inhabitants of northern Nigeria), but it's not unachievable. 7 Likes 5 Shares |

SSBN:As much as I agree with you about Adichie minding her business and the unnecessary jab at Melania's challenged son( which shows bully/I don't know which is worse, bully or racism) I believe someone of her status have every right to challenge racism where he/she perceives it. However,your stance on an individual being able to do what he/she wants contradicts your objection of homosexuality. A world were everyone is free to do what he/she wants we can't question the individual's option on which member of the opposite sex he/she sleeps with. Homosexuality is not new to the world and if you're using our cultural heritage on family to argue that then sticking to our culture is paramount but if you're using religion, countries like UK and US fought bloody wars for christianity but homosexuality is legal there. I'm a fan of Adichie by the way but that doesn't make me blind or a zombie to her every utterances. And by the way that's how Nigerians have always acted, the country is in a pile of mess created by most of them but they are more concerned about the affairs of another man's land than that of their fathers. Adichie should not have attacked her son. That's bully. And the matter of homosexuality, I don't think that should be a matter of debate, after all they had been gays in the US and UK before it was legalised an there are gays in Nigeria despite the 14 year jail time. So let's quite the hypocrisy. People should do what makes them happy |

sukkot: I said "confuzzled feminists". Not every man or woman who calls him/herself a feminist truly understands the nitty gritty of feminism (an example of such people with lopsided understanding are those ladies on Quora who found illogical correlations between "gender inequality" and something as mundane as a “sex position”). People like that are probably the same people who ask questions like, "Who pays on dinner date?" "Is wearing make-up anti-feminist?", and a host of other arrant rubbish. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

DarkRebel69:in reality there really are no rules, laws or ethics to feminism as such there can be no true or false feminists. a blanket criteria is just any woman who feels she is on the same level as a man and should not have to play second fiddle to a man. now how they go about displaying this mindset varies in different women but they are all feminist nonetheless if they habor that mindset. you will see some ' convenient feminists ' who are opportunists and only pull out the feminism card when it suits them but when it comes time to pay for dinner they expect you to pay all. does that make them any less feminist because they are opportunists ? point being some women exhibit that feminism in the bedroom too. they dont want to play any subservient role in the bedroom, hence why i said chimanda prolly wants to be the one riding her nigga as an expression of her feminism lmao |

sukkot: I agree that there can be no true or false feminism owning to the multiplicity of interpretations that can be conferred upon the ideology. But I'm sure you would agree when I say that there are:- 1) The feminists who nitpick about the unimportant details and fail to see the big picture (the "manspreading", "free bleeding" ilks) 2) The feminists who see the forest for the trees (the "anti-female circumcision", "pro-female education", and the "glass-ceiling breakers" type) I really don't know why people complicate feminism, it's a very clear-cut philosophy. I believe feminism is an offshoot of humanism i.e. rejection of tradition and religious dogma, and the promulgation of rationalism. And I also think anyone who is having a hard time understanding feminism should try to understand humanism first. When he or she has done so, then understanding feminism would be a walk in Central park. 1 Like |

Mindfulness: 5½ or 6 inches is okay. More important is the know-how as to how the body of female works (their erogenous zones, clitoral stimulation, and the likes), and a vast compendium of sexual experience. Nature must be a prankster. To compensate women for reaching orgäsm much more slower than their male counterparts, it allows them the opportunity of having multiple örgasms. Nature is literally telling us that "the patient genital gets the fattest örgasm". God! I'm a genius! |
